Washington, D.C. – Dry weather will prevail across the Mid-Atlantic region today, but wet conditions are expected to return later this week. According to the National Weather Service, a low-pressure system will move through the area Thursday and Friday, bringing significant rainfall.
The system is forecasted to bring about an inch of rain to most areas, with some regions receiving up to 2 inches of precipitation by Saturday morning. This heavy rainfall could lead to rises in area rivers and streams, though the service noted that no flooding is expected at this time.
Impact on Travel and Safety
The return of wet weather may affect the Thursday and Friday commutes, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas. Residents are advised to monitor local conditions as rain begins to accumulate.
Despite the heavy rain, the high-pressure system that has provided dry conditions today will move offshore, setting the stage for this shift in weather patterns. As always, keep an eye on updated weather alerts as the system progresses.
